    "content": "I believe with that reading of the Constitution, in my view, it may address the issues or the fears raised by Hon. Kaluma, in terms of the need for this legislation to provide for a regulatory framework for county assemblies to look at statutory instruments. I want to appreciate all the Members who contributed to this Bill. A majority of them except for that move by Hon. Kaluma have supported this Bill. I listened very carefully to the issues raised by Members, and I believe this law by the Senate is basically to bring a specific law to address the issue of statutory instrument in the county assemblies. I heard what Hon. Otiende Amollo raised about Section 18. Hon. Amollo, that section is also provided for in the National Statutory Instruments Act 2013. If you look at Section 20 of the National Statutory Instrument Act, that provision is there and it is a very good provision in law. It talks about staged automatic expiry of statutory instruments. The purpose of this part is to reduce substantially the regulatory burden on the people of Kenya without compromising law and order, essential economic, environmental and social objectives. If you go through the entire section, it is also to ensure subordinate legislation that is relevant to the economic, social and general well-being of the people of Kenya. This will ensure that part of Kenya statute books consisting of statutory instrument is of the highest standards. It is about ensuring that whatever instruments that are brought, do not last forever given the changing circumstances in the lives of the people."
